Robertson to make rehab start Thursday in Erie

WASHINGTON -- The Tigers have scheduled Nate Robertson to pitch Thursday for Double-A Erie, in a 12:05 home game against Altoona.

Manager Jim Leyland said Robertson will throw about 75 pitches. Robertson will then rejoin the Tigers in Atlanta, and will throw another bullpen before the Tigers make a decision on whether to put him back in the major-league rotation.
